The ELLE Team's Pets

Are you a cat person or a dog person? Do you prefer a feline friendship or a canine chum?

Team ELLE is split into two camps. Those who like long walks, puppy dog eyes and undying loyalty, and those who like their furry creatures slinky, selfish and low-maintenance.

But do they live up to their stereotypes? A recent survey tells us that women who own chihuahuas or poodles are high maintenance but 'probably hot' whilst those who own golden retrievers are top girlfriend material.

Whether you subscribe to animal psychology or not, it's fun matching up pet to owner, so click through the gallery and see who has a match made in pet heaven.
